Our Democratic Victory Dinner event scheduled originally for May 29, 2020 has been postponed due to the COVID-19 shelter in place order. Like you, we’re hopeful our community will be able to return a more normal level of activity soon, but it became clear we would not be able to hold an event of that nature and size on the originally scheduled date.

We’ll get the word out to you if we’re able to reschedule the event later this year, and we’ll be back with a fabulous event next Spring at the latest.

In the meantime, during this uncertain time we have for now continued to maintain our permanent office and our part-time paid staff member, which enable us to have a year-round presence in the community, and we incur other monthly expenses for campaign finance reporting and new services we’re using to organize online. Everyone’s first priority, of course, should be to care for themselves and the needs of their family and the most vulnerable members of our community. But for those who are able and are not already members of our monthly donor program, please consider setting up a $10 per month donation using the page here:

We’ll be proud to add you to our honor roll of sustaining donors!

Regards,
Bill James
Santa Clara County Democratic Party Chair

Voting is Now Easier than Ever in Santa Clara County!

Santa Clara County voters will join more than half the voters across the state when they cast a ballot in March using an exciting new voting model that makes it easier than ever to cast a ballot.

It’s called the Voter’s Choice Act, and it emphasizes convenience for the modern voter. Everyone will get a ballot that they can return postage-paid by mail, which is by far the most popular way to vote, or they can place it in one of 99 conveniently located and secure drop-boxes. Voters who prefer to vote in person can still do so at any of the more than 110 Vote Centers that will be open throughout Santa Clara County – some for up to 11 days. Remember, now it is Election Day every day between February 22nd and March 3rd!

People can vote near where they work, go to school or while running errands! The Vote Centers will offer a full spectrum of services, from language and accessibility assistance to ballots printed on demand for any voter, with all the contests that apply to any residential address in the County. There are electronic poll books to keep track of who has voted, and even voter registration all the way up through Election Day.

Take advantage of the extra time and convenience afforded by the new Voter’s Choice Act, which starts with the March 3, 2020, Presidential Primary Election. It’s a positive change that offers voters a choice: Choose when, where and how to vote.
